Chapter 1586 Let Water Company Suffer the Bitter Fruit

"Madeline is still waiting for you to rescue her."

Seeing Homelander so depressed, Ashley had to play Madeline's trump card and said to Homelander.

She knew that Madeleine held a special place in the hearts of her people. Perhaps only by mentioning her could her people rekindle their fighting spirit.

Sure enough, when the word "Madeleine" came out of Ashley's mouth, a faint but precious light suddenly flashed in the countryman's dull eyes, and his originally bloodless and dead face gradually became alive, like a land that had been dry for a long time and finally had rain.

He raised his head slightly, as if he had caught a glimmer of hope in the darkness.

However, before this ray of hope could fully light up, the eyes of the motherland quickly dimmed again, and the trace of vitality that had just emerged dissipated in an instant.

His mind involuntarily emerged with the tall and mighty figure of Sebastian Shaw, as well as his fist that was as ruthless as steel and incredibly powerful.

Every time he recalled the disastrous battle with the Black Emperor Sebastian Shaw, Homelander felt as if he were once again in that nightmarish scene, and his body couldn't help but tremble slightly.

Every heavy blow that Sebastian Shaw gave him was like a sledgehammer, not only hitting his body, but also deeply hitting his heart, completely shattering his once invincible pride and self-confidence.

The courage of his countrymen had been destroyed by the Black Emperor after that battle. At this moment, all that was left in his heart was endless fear and self-doubt.

After Edgar learned about the situation of his countrymen, his brows were furrowed, and his face was full of worry and helplessness.

As a senior executive of Water Corporation, he was well aware that the psychological problems of the people of his country had become extremely serious, and this deep-seated psychological trauma could never be resolved in a short period of time.

He sighed inwardly, the difficulties that Water Company is facing now are not the bitter fruits of his own deeds.
Who could have imagined that Compound No. 5 would leak out and spread among the population like a virus, triggering a series of uncontrollable chain reactions?

Who could have imagined that Homelander, the superhero that Vought Corporation had spent countless efforts to carefully control and create, and who was regarded as the company's strongest weapon and image spokesperson, would be completely helpless in the face of a suddenly emerging superhuman terrorist, and would be defeated miserably and lose all face?
The human population is simply too huge. After the opening of Compound No. 5, it is like sowing countless unknown seeds on the earth. No one can predict when and where these seeds will take root and sprout, and what kind of monsters they will grow into.

Today, Water Company is facing an unprecedented crisis and must solve this thorny problem as soon as possible, otherwise, a catastrophe will be waiting for the company.

Thinking of this, Edgar slowly turned around and walked towards the huge safe in the office.

He opened the safe and took out a long-sealed document. The cover of the document had turned yellow and was covered with traces of time, as if telling a forgotten history.

Edgar gently flipped open the file, which contained detailed information about the once popular superhero "Soldier Boy".

In the past years, the whole world believed that the soldier boy died bravely in order to save countless lives in the nuclear power plant explosion many years ago. His name was therefore engraved on the monument of heroes and became an object of people's admiration.

However, what is little known is that Soldier Boy was actually defeated by some mysterious and powerful super weapon.

The power of this weapon is beyond imagination. Even someone as strong as Soldier Boy finds it difficult to withstand its deadly attack.

Since the soldier boy's physique is almost the same as that of the natives, at that time, Water Company was almost helpless in the face of such a difficult soldier boy. The soldier boy's character is extremely unruly, and his heart is full of yearning for freedom, and he is unwilling to be bound by any rules or forces.

Vought Corporation has always regarded superheroes as business tools and symbols of power, trying to make them into image ambassadors that are in line with the company's interests in order to obtain huge commercial profits and broad social influence.

But the soldier boy didn't buy it at all. He refused to follow the company's instructions and often acted on his own will, which undoubtedly posed a huge threat to the company's operations and reputation.

Every willful action of his may trigger a series of uncontrollable consequences, causing the company to fall into a whirlpool of public opinion and legal risks.

Looking back at the soldier boy's background, his father was a steel tycoon who owned more than half of the iron and steel mills in the United States. He was Carnegie, who was as famous as Rockefeller and other giants.

In that era, Carnegie built a huge steel empire with his outstanding business acumen and ruthless means.

He and other figures such as Rockefeller played a crucial role in promoting the development of the American economy and helping the United States become a world power.

But behind their monopoly on the market, there are many acts of collusion between officials and businessmen that are even more sinister and dark than what was revealed by the Black Robe Patrol.

They accumulated huge wealth by bribing government officials, suppressing competitors, manipulating market prices, etc., but brought heavy disasters to countless small and medium-sized enterprises and ordinary people.

As the first superhero created by Vought Corporation, Soldier Boy caused a huge sensation at the time.

His appearance established Vought Corporation's leading position in the superhero field.

With the strong strength and heroic image of the soldier boy, Water Company quickly attracted a lot of attention and resources, and its business continued to expand, gradually moving towards its current leading position.

Meanwhile, Vought Corporation has successfully taken control of Soldier Boy's child, Homelander.

Homelander has been carefully trained by the company from the very beginning. Under the company's brainwashing and manipulation, he obeys the company's instructions and demonstrates extremely high obedience and potential.

In the eyes of the company's top management, an obedient and high-potential native is far more valuable than a soldier boy who is difficult to control and often causes trouble.

After weighing the pros and cons, Water Company finally made a cruel decision to sell out the soldier boy to Maozi.

They thought that in this way they could get rid of the trouble of the soldier boy and continue to maintain the company's glory by relying on their fellow countrymen.

However, fate is always full of dramatic twists.

Today, Vought Corporation is in unprecedented trouble, and is being troubled by Diablo's group of superhuman terrorists.

The impact caused by these terrorists is growing at an alarming rate, like a huge snowball that keeps expanding and getting bigger and bigger and gradually out of control.
